Creator's Key Takeaways

i was booked on the cruise 23 hours before we left so that's how it came about a little bit of luck and actually very little planning on my part

masks were required from the moment i walked into the terminal until i got into my cabin on the ship they are required in all public places all public places on board unless you are sitting down or of course when you're eating and drinking

it's not crowded at all there have been several times that i've walked over the pool deck and i haven't seen one person in the pool and nobody in the hot tubs

the crew has been amazing everybody so friendly so engaged and i feel good being here

YouTube Video Description

Hey Cruisers, In this exclusive interview with Morgan from the Very unOfficial Travel Guides, we find out the truth about cruising now. You'll hear ALL the details on exactly what being a passenger onboard a cruise ship is currently like. Morgan has just returned from a 7 night "Journey into the Blue" cruise departing from Germany on the Mein Schiff 2 with TUI Cruises. This cruise departed from Germany, and traveled along the coast of Norway, Sweden and Finland. We know you have a lot of questions about what this cruise was like! We got to talk in depth with Morgan and have detailed information for you on: -How has the muster drill changed (you won't believe how they do it!)? -Were masks required? - What was dining REALLY like (we share a good laugh about his buffet experience)? -What was embarkation like? -Was a test required to board? -How did it feel to board the ship amidst a global health crisis? -What type of cabin did you stay in? -Did the ship feel crowded? -How was the entertainment? -What type of health screening does TUI cruises require currently? -Were other cruisers were cooperative about the rules? And finally, we ask Morgan what advice he'd give other cruisers, hoping to cruise in the near future.
